<<The K63 - which did good in only ONE Windows NT test>> That "one" benchmark is Winstone 99 and the K6-3-450 was a speed grade AHEAD of the Pentium III 500, and it was nearly as fast as a Pentium III with an overclocked bus and CPU running at 560 MHz! This means that the K6-3-450 is the fastest CPU for mainstream business applications available today, even if Intel had already brought out the P3-550. The other NT benchmarks in the review are inconsequential because they only were against the handful of SSE-enabled, Intel-hand-picked applications now available. In fact, Anand reveals his pro-Intel bias by only using SSE-enabled Dragon Naturally Speaking and not also benchmarking the 3DNow!-enabled IBM Via Voice Gold. (He compounds his stupidity by stating that applications like voice recognition will never have 3DNow! support.) Petz
